Ended up spending nearly $700 at lowes on a drill, drill bits, wires, wire cutters, electric heat gun, tap and die set and other miscellaneous stuff. I'm honestly just going to drill them all out.
With the manifold still on you can't get a straight shot to drill the bolts out. Why not try to twist out the bolts maybe apply heat, penetrating oil, and hitting the bolt with a drift and hammer before trying to twist. The bolts should just twist out.
